There was a library of books at this site, from kid books to adult novels, newspapers to bibles. It felt like the book in the area had a considerable about of time to waste here, if they had indeed stayed there for some expanse of time. Right away I felt like I wanted to use them in my ephemeral project, though the idea is not very relevant to the location it was conceived.
Even with so many people complaining about not having money, there are still many out there wasting their money on material possessions. As much as reading, writing, and the arts are promoted activities for free time to enhance your knowledge and save money, shopping is still one that dominates the wasting of time. With all this shopping done, money is spent on items that are overpriced and that don't last. But despite it all, we shop, because growing up in America trained us to spend money. Despite what kind of wall has been put up to discourage spending money and wasting time, like instead encouragement to read books, shopping still is overall more appealing to the population. But can't reading and knowledge just go to waste too?
I stopped to look at this because I was curious about why the books were damaged... did you find them here? Anyway after reading your statement I understood more why there was a shopping cart included in the piece. Cool beans... I'm going to read a book... see you've made your point!
